1
00:00:10,636 --> 00:00:12,637
So I just had to get out of the house.
2
00:00:12,638 --> 00:00:15,097
Maris' junior league is rehearsing
their spring musicale.
3
00:00:15,098 --> 00:00:16,475
This year they're doing Cats.
4
00:00:17,059 --> 00:00:19,519
For the past week and a half
I've been watching two dozen
5
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,146
underweight, tightly-pulled women
in leotards
6
00:00:22,147 --> 00:00:23,941
crawling around the music room, meowing.
7
00:00:25,192 --> 00:00:27,819
I'm telling you, Frasier,
my allergies are acting up.
8
00:00:29,112 --> 00:00:30,947
Oh, Niles, I think you're exaggerating.
9
00:00:30,948 --> 00:00:33,950
No, really, you have no idea
how vivid the experience is.
10
00:00:33,951 --> 00:00:36,827
As God is my judge,
I swear Mrs. Presley Bismouth
11
00:00:36,828 --> 00:00:38,455
was scent marking the divan.
12
00:00:41,416 --> 00:00:44,460
God, you'd think women of that age
would choose more suitable material.
13
00:00:44,461 --> 00:00:46,712
Remember the last show they did,
The Sound of Music?
14
00:00:46,713 --> 00:00:49,716
My God, half the Von Trapp children
were having hot flashes.
15
00:00:52,636 --> 00:00:54,554
Hi, Frasier. Niles.
16
00:00:54,555 --> 00:00:56,681
Let me guess.
The wacky gang from the office?
17
00:00:56,682 --> 00:01:00,434
Everyone, this is my brother, Niles.
This is Teddy, one of our engineers.
18
00:01:00,435 --> 00:01:01,853
- Teddy, my man.
- Niles.
19
00:01:04,731 --> 00:01:07,817
This is KACL's
own inimitable Chopper Dave.
20
00:01:07,818 --> 00:01:11,321
- Your eye in the sky for traffic.
- Nice to meet you, Niles.
21
00:01:13,574 --> 00:01:16,576
- Why is this man yelling?
- Oh, was I yelling?
22
00:01:16,577 --> 00:01:18,828
Oh, God, I was yelling again, wasn't I?
23
00:01:18,829 --> 00:01:20,913
I'm sorry. Talking over the blades.
24
00:01:20,914 --> 00:01:22,791
You know,
25
00:01:23,417 --> 00:01:26,295
That's great. This has been kind of fun.
Uh...
26
00:01:27,212 --> 00:01:28,922
But I really have to go.
27
00:01:29,423 --> 00:01:32,008
I'm conducting a seminar
in multiple personality disorders,
28
00:01:32,009 --> 00:01:34,136
and it takes me forever
to fill out the name tags.
29
00:01:42,436 --> 00:01:46,606
Well, KACL team,
what is on the agenda for today?
30
00:01:46,607 --> 00:01:48,358
Sit down and listen to this.
31
00:01:49,151 --> 00:01:52,695
I got a juicy piece of news,
and it's reliable.
32
00:01:52,696 --> 00:01:54,905
Allen in Accounting got it
from Steven in Promotions
33
00:01:54,906 --> 00:01:56,532
who got it from Cindy in Sales
34
00:01:56,533 --> 00:01:58,784
who got it from Arlene,
the station secretary,
35
00:01:58,785 --> 00:02:01,704
that the station
is definitely way over budget
36
00:02:01,705 --> 00:02:03,623
and somebody's getting the ax.
37
00:02:03,624 --> 00:02:06,043
But don't tell anybody.
I was sworn to secrecy.
38
00:02:07,377 --> 00:02:09,503
Roz, I'm ashamed of you.
Gossip, gossip, gossip.
39
00:02:09,504 --> 00:02:11,130
Don't you realize
how destructive it can be?
40
00:02:11,131 --> 00:02:12,632
It sullies good people's names,
41
00:02:12,633 --> 00:02:14,675
and create an atmosphere
of suspicion and mistrust.
42
00:02:14,676 --> 00:02:16,385
Oh, lighten up!
43
00:02:16,386 --> 00:02:19,055
Gossip is the lifeblood
of the corporate world.
44
00:02:19,056 --> 00:02:22,350
If it wasn't for gossip, we wouldn't
know any of the important things.
45
00:02:22,351 --> 00:02:24,226
Like how much everybody makes.
46
00:02:24,227 --> 00:02:25,770
You know my salary?
47
00:02:25,771 --> 00:02:28,231
No one's salary's a secret around here.
48
00:02:29,441 --> 00:02:32,485
- Ninety-four, 95, 96, 97...
- Hey, Bulldog, how's it going?
49
00:02:32,486 --> 00:02:36,072
Great. Ninety-eight, 99, 100.
New high for me.
50
00:02:36,073 --> 00:02:37,699
Squeezing or counting?
51
00:02:40,577 --> 00:02:42,496
Java to go.
52
00:02:43,497 --> 00:02:45,206
You know who I think's getting dumped?
53
00:02:45,207 --> 00:02:47,875
Father Mike from Religion on the Line.
54
00:02:47,876 --> 00:02:51,630
No way. Station loves him.
Just gave him a big bonus.
55
00:02:52,506 --> 00:02:55,383
Hey. Where's my tickets
to the Sonics game?
56
00:02:55,384 --> 00:02:56,926
They were here just a second ago.
57
00:02:56,927 --> 00:02:59,845
Somebody stole my tickets
to the Sonics game!
58
00:02:59,846 --> 00:03:02,139
This stinks! This is total BS!
59
00:03:02,140 --> 00:03:04,518
- This is...
- Oh, got them. Got them.
60
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,233
Hey, you guys don't think it's Bulldog
who's getting canned?
61
00:03:12,234 --> 00:03:13,526
- Could be.
- No, no, no.
62
00:03:13,527 --> 00:03:15,444
He's the stations
highest-rated personality,
63
00:03:15,445 --> 00:03:17,446
with the exception
of women between 35 to 54
64
00:03:17,447 --> 00:03:19,658
who think that I'm sort of a god.
65
00:03:21,535 --> 00:03:24,078
But he has been in that salary beef
with management.
66
00:03:24,079 --> 00:03:26,163
And I heard him screaming
at Business Affairs
67
00:03:26,164 --> 00:03:28,082
for putting his expense account on hold.
68
00:03:28,083 --> 00:03:29,917
Oh, yeah! Bulldog's out!
69
00:03:29,918 --> 00:03:31,002
Shh!
70
00:03:32,754 --> 00:03:36,382
Hey, have you heard
my new gimmick for the show?
71
00:03:36,383 --> 00:03:38,634
If the Seahawks beat Buffalo this Sunday,
72
00:03:38,635 --> 00:03:41,345
I promise to do my entire show
hanging by my feet.
73
00:03:41,346 --> 00:03:42,596
Gee, you can do that?
74
00:03:42,597 --> 00:03:45,850
Oh, sure. Practiced all morning.
The real trick is drinking coffee.
75
00:03:45,851 --> 00:03:47,269
I keep burning my eyes.
76
00:03:48,979 --> 00:03:51,981
Hey, Dave, you want my tickets
to the Sonics game tonight?
77
00:03:51,982 --> 00:03:55,067
Thanks. Why aren't you going?
78
00:03:55,068 --> 00:03:57,278
Station manager
wants to see me after work.
79
00:03:57,279 --> 00:03:58,571
Ooh.
80
00:03:58,572 --> 00:04:00,906
Oh, people, people,
you're jumping to conclusions.
81
00:04:00,907 --> 00:04:02,241
Show a little respect.
82
00:04:02,242 --> 00:04:04,785
Bulldog has devoted 15 years
of his life to radio.
83
00:04:04,786 --> 00:04:06,495
My own personal feelings aside,
84
00:04:06,496 --> 00:04:09,248
the man deserves better than to become
the object of some rumor
85
00:04:09,249 --> 00:04:12,084
that as yet hasn't a shred of truth to it.
86
00:04:12,085 --> 00:04:13,919
Yeah, I suppose you're right.
87
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,466
Yes, well, just in case,
I've got dibs on his parking space.
88
00:04:24,014 --> 00:04:26,307
Dr. Crane,
we have Don on his car phone.
89
00:04:26,308 --> 00:04:28,309
He's having a problem with his weight.
90
00:04:28,310 --> 00:04:29,144
Hmm.
91
00:04:30,395 --> 00:04:33,606
Don, it's a common problem. I'm listening.
92
00:04:33,607 --> 00:04:36,567
Ah, it's the screwiest thing, doc.
I eat healthy. I work out.
93
00:04:36,568 --> 00:04:39,028
But no matter what I do,
I can't lose a pound.
94
00:04:39,029 --> 00:04:40,279
It's very depressing.
95
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:43,282
Yes, well, losing weight
can be a lifelong struggle.
96
00:04:43,283 --> 00:04:44,450
Takes a commitment.
97
00:04:44,451 --> 00:04:47,703
If you're ready to accept that, there
are a number of things I can suggest--
98
00:04:47,704 --> 00:04:49,372
May I take your order, please?
99
00:04:55,128 --> 00:04:56,837
Um, Don, what was that?
100
00:04:56,838 --> 00:04:59,965
Oh, nothing. It was the radio.
Oh, go ahead. You, you were talking.
101
00:04:59,966 --> 00:05:02,259
Don, where are you?
102
00:05:02,260 --> 00:05:03,636
I'm just driving around.
103
00:05:03,637 --> 00:05:06,014
Please, speak into the clown's mouth.
104
00:05:08,892 --> 00:05:09,892
Don...
105
00:05:09,893 --> 00:05:12,686
Sorry, Dr. Crane.
Oh, I'm gonna lose you.
106
00:05:12,687 --> 00:05:15,190
I'm going into a tunnel. Goodbye.
107
00:05:15,732 --> 00:05:18,150
Yes, and the light
at the end of that tunnel
108
00:05:18,151 --> 00:05:21,238
is a heat lamp
over a large order of fries.
109
00:05:23,532 --> 00:05:25,659
We'll be right back after the news.
110
00:05:26,535 --> 00:05:28,369
Hey, Frasier, I gotta run up to Payroll.
111
00:05:28,370 --> 00:05:30,038
- Be back in five.
- Okay.
112
00:05:32,249 --> 00:05:33,666
Oh, hi, Father Mike.
113
00:05:33,667 --> 00:05:36,001
- Oh, hello, Frasier. Fine.
- How're you doing?
114
00:05:36,002 --> 00:05:40,339
Say, I just heard a rumor that somebody
around here is being let go.
115
00:05:40,340 --> 00:05:41,841
Do you know anything about that?
116
00:05:41,842 --> 00:05:44,552
Because, to tell you the truth,
I'm afraid it might be me.
117
00:05:44,553 --> 00:05:48,264
Oh, Father, you should know better than
to put any stock in idle office gossip.
118
00:05:48,265 --> 00:05:52,268
I know, I know, but it's hard not to.
My numbers have been down lately.
119
00:05:52,269 --> 00:05:55,021
They keep changing my time slot.
I'm really bummed.
120
00:05:57,941 --> 00:05:59,483
Well, listen, Father,
121
00:05:59,484 --> 00:06:02,653
I don't like to engage in gossip,
but you have nothing to worry about.
122
00:06:02,654 --> 00:06:04,446
Yes? Why?
123
00:06:04,447 --> 00:06:08,285
Well, someone is being let go.
But it's not you.
124
00:06:08,785 --> 00:06:09,785
It's Bulldog.
125
00:06:09,786 --> 00:06:13,747
- Bulldog! Oh, what a shame.
- Yes.
126
00:06:13,748 --> 00:06:15,791
Has anybody spoken for his parking space?
127
00:06:15,792 --> 00:06:16,918
Well, I have.
128
00:06:18,461 --> 00:06:19,296
Yes.
129
00:06:22,799 --> 00:06:24,301
So I'm a goner, huh?
130
00:06:27,804 --> 00:06:29,638
Bulldog! How long have you been...?
131
00:06:29,639 --> 00:06:31,808
Long enough to know I'm the one who's out.
132
00:06:32,392 --> 00:06:34,311
I knew it! I knew it! I knew it!
133
00:06:34,895 --> 00:06:36,479
Oh, damn it!
134
00:06:38,189 --> 00:06:40,816
Now I know why Ned Miller
wants to see me after work.
135
00:06:40,817 --> 00:06:41,984
It's to can my butt.
136
00:06:41,985 --> 00:06:44,570
Why would he be willing
to miss happy hour at El Paquito's?
137
00:06:44,571 --> 00:06:46,030
The man is a total boozer!
138
00:06:46,031 --> 00:06:49,575
Now, now. This is just a rumor.
You know how out of the loop I am.
139
00:06:49,576 --> 00:06:52,536
And after all I've done for this station,
this is how they repay me!
140
00:06:52,537 --> 00:06:55,247
That's it! Nobody fires Bob Brisco.
141
00:06:55,248 --> 00:06:57,499
- I'll quit first.
- Now, now, don't do anything rash.
142
00:06:57,500 --> 00:07:00,128
Now listen, I suggest you just try
to vent your anger first.
143
00:07:05,967 --> 00:07:08,385
Well, there, way to go.
144
00:07:08,386 --> 00:07:10,388
- Now, on your way.
- You're damn right.
145
00:07:13,141 --> 00:07:16,645
- Hey, Bulldog.
- No time to talk, slim. I'm off to war.
146
00:07:21,566 --> 00:07:22,651
Wait for me.
147
00:07:26,154 --> 00:07:27,447
What was that?
148
00:07:28,031 --> 00:07:30,032
- Bulldog's quitting.
- Why?
149
00:07:30,033 --> 00:07:31,951
Well, because Ned Miller is firing him.
150
00:07:31,952 --> 00:07:33,911
- Who told you that?
- You did.
151
00:07:33,912 --> 00:07:37,039
That was just a rumor.
You didn't tell him that, did you?
152
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,166
Oh, I didn't mean to. He overheard me.
153
00:07:39,167 --> 00:07:40,584
Oh, God!
154
00:07:40,585 --> 00:07:43,045
What? I mean, come on,
you guys were so positive.
155
00:07:43,046 --> 00:07:45,631
The expense account thing,
meeting with management at 5.
156
00:07:45,632 --> 00:07:47,967
That meeting was to discuss
taking his show national.
157
00:07:47,968 --> 00:07:50,094
Don't you know anything
that goes on around here?
158
00:07:50,095 --> 00:07:51,304
Apparently not!
159
00:07:52,889 --> 00:07:56,058
Don't stand there. Call his secretary.
She'll stop him before he gets in.
160
00:07:56,059 --> 00:07:58,228
I don't believe this! This is incredible.
161
00:07:59,145 --> 00:08:00,688
Yes, hello, hello, Arlene, Arlene.
162
00:08:00,689 --> 00:08:03,274
Yes, listen, Bob Brisco's
about to jump into the office and...
163
00:08:03,858 --> 00:08:04,859
Oh, he did. Oh.
164
00:08:06,820 --> 00:08:09,154
God, he's already burst
into the office with Miller.
165
00:08:09,155 --> 00:08:12,241
- Oh, God, this is a disaster.
- Maybe not.
166
00:08:12,242 --> 00:08:13,909
Maybe before Bulldog starts anything,
167
00:08:13,910 --> 00:08:16,286
Miller will tell him what the meeting
was really about.
168
00:08:16,287 --> 00:08:17,871
Oh, I suppose you're right.
169
00:08:17,872 --> 00:08:20,416
Yeah, they may be having a good laugh
about this right now.
170
00:08:20,417 --> 00:08:21,333
Yeah.
171
00:08:26,047 --> 00:08:28,674
Grab that mike.
We're after the news in one minute.
172
00:08:28,675 --> 00:08:31,635
I did it! I scorched him!
173
00:08:31,636 --> 00:08:33,637
You should've seen the look on his face.
174
00:08:33,638 --> 00:08:36,849
I told him about the time his wife
came on to me at the Christmas party.
175
00:08:36,850 --> 00:08:40,228
I said there wasn't enough liquor in the
world to make me sleep with that porker.
176
00:08:41,688 --> 00:08:43,355
- You said that?
- Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
177
00:08:43,356 --> 00:08:44,982
He even took a swing at me.
178
00:08:44,983 --> 00:08:47,317
I gave him a little okey-dokey.
He hit air!
179
00:08:47,318 --> 00:08:49,361
My God! The man tried
to strike you! Listen--
180
00:08:49,362 --> 00:08:51,447
Hey. Hey! No sudden moves, doc.
181
00:08:51,448 --> 00:08:54,159
I'm still too pumped.
I feel like popping someone.
182
00:08:55,744 --> 00:08:57,578
My God, my God, this is unbelievable.
183
00:08:57,579 --> 00:09:00,497
A man has quit his job
just because of a rumor that you spread!
184
00:09:00,498 --> 00:09:01,666
Me?
185
00:09:02,876 --> 00:09:06,128
The point of gossip is to talk behind
the persons back, not in front of him.
186
00:09:06,129 --> 00:09:08,423
I didn't realize you were unclear
on this concept!
187
00:09:10,759 --> 00:09:13,136
I'm a bad, bad man.
188
00:09:15,764 --> 00:09:18,265
Well, Frasier,
you have got to do something.
189
00:09:18,266 --> 00:09:21,226
You've gotta call Ned Miller
and get this whole thing cleared up.
190
00:09:21,227 --> 00:09:24,063
"Call Ned Miller. Clear this thing up."
The man is totally unstable.
191
00:09:24,064 --> 00:09:26,690
He tried to take a swing at me
the day he hired me.
192
00:09:26,691 --> 00:09:30,069
Oh, I just heard a hot rumor.
Bulldog quit!
193
00:09:30,070 --> 00:09:32,112
- No kidding.
- But keep it under your hat.
194
00:09:32,113 --> 00:09:33,156
Very hush, hush.
195
00:09:42,874 --> 00:09:45,000
Oh, Niles, what brings you here?
196
00:09:45,001 --> 00:09:47,921
Well, I was hoping Daphne
could take a look at this plant.
197
00:09:52,467 --> 00:09:55,678
I bought it for Maris,
but it unaccountably turned against her.
198
00:09:58,473 --> 00:10:01,558
I thought Daphne was the perfect person
to nurse it back to health
199
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,562
with her soft, sensual hands
and her loving manner.
200
00:10:05,563 --> 00:10:06,689
Is she here?
201
00:10:08,191 --> 00:10:10,734
No, she stepped out.
I don't know when she'll be back.
202
00:10:10,735 --> 00:10:13,904
- Well, I'm off.
- Well, hey, you can stay.
203
00:10:13,905 --> 00:10:15,824
I haven't seen you for a while.
We can visit.
204
00:10:16,241 --> 00:10:17,324
Uh--
205
00:10:17,325 --> 00:10:19,285
Well, yes, we could, couldn't we?
206
00:10:30,296 --> 00:10:32,005
- So, how are you?
- Fine.
207
00:10:32,006 --> 00:10:33,133
- You?
- Fine.
208
00:10:36,928 --> 00:10:37,971
She's fine.
209
00:10:44,853 --> 00:10:45,812
Pickle?
210
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:48,565
No, thanks.
211
00:10:57,824 --> 00:11:01,034
Look, Niles, if you just came
to see Daphne, you don't have to stay.
212
00:11:01,035 --> 00:11:03,662
Dad, I can't believe you would say that
to your own son.
213
00:11:03,663 --> 00:11:05,289
I am deeply insulted.
214
00:11:05,290 --> 00:11:08,710
Here I wanted to have some time with you,
but now I'm so upset I'll have to leave.
215
00:11:11,129 --> 00:11:13,755
Oh, hello, Dr. Crane.
Staying for dinner?
216
00:11:13,756 --> 00:11:14,924
Yes, love to.
217
00:11:16,301 --> 00:11:20,137
Daphne, I had the fervent hope
that you could coax this back to life.
218
00:11:20,138 --> 00:11:21,638
It's one of Maris' favorites.
219
00:11:21,639 --> 00:11:23,807
My goodness, what did she do to it?
220
00:11:23,808 --> 00:11:25,894
Nothing. Just loved it.
221
00:11:28,271 --> 00:11:29,771
God, do you believe this weather?
222
00:11:29,772 --> 00:11:32,108
I'm glad you're home.
What happened to Bulldog?
223
00:11:33,026 --> 00:11:33,985
Who told you?
224
00:11:34,527 --> 00:11:35,736
Nobody told me anything.
225
00:11:35,737 --> 00:11:38,363
I tuned into the Gonzo Sports Show
today like I always do,
226
00:11:38,364 --> 00:11:40,240
and they had Father Mike filling in.
227
00:11:40,241 --> 00:11:41,658
I hate that.
228
00:11:41,659 --> 00:11:44,954
All it was, was Notre Dame,
Notre Dame, Notre Dame.
229
00:11:47,707 --> 00:11:50,918
Yes, well, Bulldog tendered
his resignation.
230
00:11:50,919 --> 00:11:52,336
Oh, no!
231
00:11:52,337 --> 00:11:55,214
Why would he do that?
He's the top sports guy in town.
232
00:11:55,215 --> 00:11:57,799
Yeah, you know, things
just go funny sometimes.
233
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,010
It's a tough business,
this radio game, you know?
234
00:12:00,011 --> 00:12:03,138
Dr. Crane,
I'm picking up something from you.
235
00:12:03,139 --> 00:12:05,391
You're shrouded in an aura of guilt.
236
00:12:11,606 --> 00:12:12,773
Maybe I am.
237
00:12:12,774 --> 00:12:15,109
Daphne, that's fantastic. Do me. Do me.
238
00:12:18,696 --> 00:12:21,199
No, I'm on to something here.
239
00:12:22,367 --> 00:12:26,870
You actually think you're responsible
for Bulldog losing his job.
240
00:12:26,871 --> 00:12:28,914
- Frasier?
- All right, all right.
241
00:12:28,915 --> 00:12:32,542
There was a rumor going around the station
that Bulldog was gonna get sacked,
242
00:12:32,543 --> 00:12:35,379
I was repeating it to someone
and he overheard me
243
00:12:35,380 --> 00:12:38,383
and flew off the handle and went up
and quit his job.
244
00:12:39,133 --> 00:12:41,677
In the end, it turned out
that the rumor wasn't true.
245
00:12:41,678 --> 00:12:43,596
Of course, you already knew that,
didn't you?
246
00:12:45,723 --> 00:12:47,267
Oh, excuse me.
247
00:12:49,477 --> 00:12:51,062
Hello. Maris.
248
00:12:51,980 --> 00:12:53,480
Maris, what's wrong?
249
00:12:53,481 --> 00:12:57,025
Oh, pumpkin, it's all right.
No, no, everything's going to be...
250
00:12:57,026 --> 00:13:01,071
Oh, dear. I'm sorry, I have to go.
Maris is despondent.
251
00:13:01,072 --> 00:13:03,740
They've kicked her out
of the cast of Cats.
252
00:13:03,741 --> 00:13:04,784
Why?
253
00:13:05,368 --> 00:13:07,453
She couldn't remember the words
to "Memory."
254
00:13:12,834 --> 00:13:15,919
Now, listen here, if you're
responsible for Bulldog losing his job,
255
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:17,129
you gotta make this right.
256
00:13:17,130 --> 00:13:20,173
Go to that station to talk to the boss
and get him his job back.
257
00:13:20,174 --> 00:13:21,508
That's easier said than done.
258
00:13:21,509 --> 00:13:24,261
Ned Miller's the most intimidating,
heartless, mean-spirited man
259
00:13:24,262 --> 00:13:25,595
I've ever met.
260
00:13:25,596 --> 00:13:26,973
And he cheats on his wife.
261
00:13:28,683 --> 00:13:31,394
My goodness, I'm on today. Ooh.
262
00:13:32,854 --> 00:13:34,604
So you sold Bulldog down the river
263
00:13:34,605 --> 00:13:37,316
just because you don't have the guts
to go and face this guy?
264
00:13:37,317 --> 00:13:39,693
This might be the best thing
that ever happened to him.
265
00:13:39,694 --> 00:13:42,321
He's always talking about
how he should be in a larger market
266
00:13:42,322 --> 00:13:43,823
like Los Angeles or New York.
267
00:13:44,991 --> 00:13:47,327
Eddie, just scoot. Scat!
268
00:13:47,952 --> 00:13:48,786
Stay.
269
00:13:50,288 --> 00:13:52,498
- Bulldog.
- Hi, doc.
270
00:13:53,499 --> 00:13:55,209
What are you doing just standing there?
271
00:13:56,252 --> 00:13:57,253
I don't know.
272
00:13:58,004 --> 00:14:01,089
I was trying to decide whether or not
I should bother you.
273
00:14:01,090 --> 00:14:05,218
See, my life is kind of over,
but you got company, so I'll go.
274
00:14:05,219 --> 00:14:08,847
No, no, no, come in, come in.
This is just family.
275
00:14:08,848 --> 00:14:10,932
This is my dad and Daphne Moon.
276
00:14:10,933 --> 00:14:12,352
- Hello.
- Hey, Bulldog!
277
00:14:13,227 --> 00:14:14,811
You're soaking wet.
278
00:14:14,812 --> 00:14:17,981
Yeah, I've been wandering around
the streets for the last few hours.
279
00:14:17,982 --> 00:14:19,399
I heard what happened.
280
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,361
You haven't heard the half of it.
281
00:14:22,153 --> 00:14:23,862
My girlfriend threw me out.
282
00:14:23,863 --> 00:14:27,742
She said the only reason she was with me
was because I was on the radio.
283
00:14:28,326 --> 00:14:29,493
Can you believe that?
284
00:14:29,494 --> 00:14:31,411
Eight years we've been together.
285
00:14:31,412 --> 00:14:32,622
I loved that woman.
286
00:14:33,581 --> 00:14:36,250
Even when I was tomcatting around,
I loved that woman.
287
00:14:38,169 --> 00:14:41,588
God, that job was my life, and now
I've been blackballed in this business,
288
00:14:41,589 --> 00:14:43,716
and all because of my stupid temper.
289
00:14:44,759 --> 00:14:45,759
What is this, anyway?
290
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,596
Oh, that, that's an exceedingly rare
fertility symbol
291
00:14:49,597 --> 00:14:51,849
from a small nomadic tribe in Ghana.
292
00:14:52,350 --> 00:14:54,518
I guess when they were passing
out equipment,
293
00:14:54,519 --> 00:14:56,145
this guy was in the back of the line.
294
00:14:57,188 --> 00:15:00,148
Anyway, I might as well face it,
I'm just a loser.
295
00:15:00,149 --> 00:15:04,778
I'm a zero, a nothing, a has-been.
296
00:15:04,779 --> 00:15:05,738
Pickle?
297
00:15:11,244 --> 00:15:13,662
Now I'm not familiar
with your work myself,
298
00:15:13,663 --> 00:15:16,289
but Mr. Crane here often puts off
his nightly bath
299
00:15:16,290 --> 00:15:17,707
just so he can hear your show.
300
00:15:17,708 --> 00:15:20,419
Oh, yeah, you're the greatest, Bulldog.
301
00:15:20,420 --> 00:15:23,255
If you weren't on the radio,
I wouldn't have a radio.
302
00:15:23,256 --> 00:15:24,966
That's a nice thing to say.
303
00:15:25,925 --> 00:15:28,177
Now I know why your son
is such a great guy.
304
00:15:34,392 --> 00:15:37,018
Hey, uh, I've bothered you people enough.
305
00:15:37,019 --> 00:15:38,228
I better go.
306
00:15:38,229 --> 00:15:40,356
The good rooms at the Y fill up early.
307
00:15:44,277 --> 00:15:48,573
Wait, Bulldog,
I can't let you leave like this.
308
00:15:50,616 --> 00:15:51,576
Here's a 20.
309
00:15:56,456 --> 00:16:00,668
Oh, all right, why don't you spend
the night and you can take the couch.
310
00:16:01,461 --> 00:16:03,712
- Wow. You'd do that for me?
- Well, sure.
311
00:16:03,713 --> 00:16:07,049
What's the point of having a suede couch
unless you have people crashing on it?
312
00:16:09,010 --> 00:16:10,011
Thanks, doc.
313
00:16:10,595 --> 00:16:13,805
Hey, I hope it's okay,
but I could really use a hot shower.
314
00:16:13,806 --> 00:16:14,848
Oh, sure, sure.
315
00:16:14,849 --> 00:16:16,892
Down the hall. Second door on the left.
316
00:16:16,893 --> 00:16:18,394
Towels are in the cabinet.
317
00:16:26,444 --> 00:16:28,613
Now you two just leave me alone.
318
00:16:29,363 --> 00:16:31,031
This is not my fault.
319
00:16:31,032 --> 00:16:33,742
Look, I am not responsible
for Bulldog going up there
320
00:16:33,743 --> 00:16:35,536
and popping off to the boss.
321
00:16:36,871 --> 00:16:39,080
You can stare at me
until you're blue in the face.
322
00:16:39,081 --> 00:16:40,541
I am not gonna go see Ned Miller.
323
00:16:48,466 --> 00:16:49,717
Well, all right!
324
00:16:52,011 --> 00:16:53,345
I'll go down to that station.
325
00:16:53,346 --> 00:16:55,639
I will talk to the monster
on the sixth floor
326
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,767
and futilely attempt to get a man
back his job that I don't even care for,
327
00:16:58,768 --> 00:17:02,230
and in the process I will probably end up
spitting out my teeth like Chiclets.
328
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,566
Is there anything else I can do for you?
329
00:17:06,567 --> 00:17:09,820
Oh, if you're going by the market,
we're low on dog food.
330
00:17:16,702 --> 00:17:18,955
What? What?
331
00:17:21,082 --> 00:17:23,375
- Mr. Miller...
- Oh, it's you, Crane.
332
00:17:23,376 --> 00:17:26,169
- Arlene wasn't at her desk.
- No, I had to let her go.
333
00:17:26,170 --> 00:17:29,257
A lot of stuff she's been doing lately
has been ticking me off.
334
00:17:29,924 --> 00:17:31,299
Well, if this is a bad time...
335
00:17:31,300 --> 00:17:33,843
No, it's a perfect time.
I need you to hold this.
336
00:17:33,844 --> 00:17:36,096
Come on. Now.
337
00:17:36,097 --> 00:17:37,598
Jeez. Come on.
338
00:17:38,599 --> 00:17:40,308
Okay. How's this?
339
00:17:40,309 --> 00:17:43,104
I'd love to tell you,
but your big head's in the way.
340
00:17:49,193 --> 00:17:50,403
Oh, put it down.
341
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,322
Oh, my Lord, what happened here?
342
00:17:54,323 --> 00:17:58,034
Oh, that psycho Bulldog and I
got into it this afternoon.
343
00:17:58,035 --> 00:18:00,120
He threw my Golden Mic at me.
344
00:18:00,121 --> 00:18:02,038
He did that with your little trophy?
345
00:18:02,039 --> 00:18:04,040
No, he just chipped the paint
with the trophy.
346
00:18:04,041 --> 00:18:05,543
I did that with his head.
347
00:18:09,046 --> 00:18:12,507
- Uh, that's sort of why I'm here.
- Drink?
348
00:18:12,508 --> 00:18:14,634
No, no, thank you, Mr. Miller.
349
00:18:14,635 --> 00:18:18,513
I know that Bulldog was up here,
and he said some things to you.
350
00:18:18,514 --> 00:18:19,931
I'll say he said some things.
351
00:18:19,932 --> 00:18:22,768
You wanna hear them?
I tape everything in this office.
352
00:18:29,317 --> 00:18:35,739
Well, anyway, a lot of what he said
was my fault, you see.
353
00:18:35,740 --> 00:18:37,407
Well, you see, I heard a rumor
354
00:18:37,408 --> 00:18:41,120
that management was thinking
about lightening the load a bit.
355
00:18:41,871 --> 00:18:45,458
Well, I heard that it was Bulldog
that was gonna get sacked. And I...
356
00:18:46,459 --> 00:18:49,545
I was repeating a rumor to someone,
and Bulldog heard me.
357
00:18:50,046 --> 00:18:52,464
And that's why he came up here
and started telling you--
358
00:18:52,465 --> 00:18:55,258
That I'm a drunk.
That I'm incompetent at my job.
359
00:18:55,259 --> 00:18:57,552
That my wife is a big, fat slut.
360
00:18:57,553 --> 00:19:00,890
That is indefensible.
Your wife is not overweight!
361
00:19:06,562 --> 00:19:07,688
Well, uh...
362
00:19:08,564 --> 00:19:10,149
Well, anyway, my point is that, uh...
363
00:19:12,068 --> 00:19:14,444
I'd like you to consider
giving Bulldog his job back.
364
00:19:14,445 --> 00:19:19,324
And whatever the consequences to me,
I'm willing to accept it.
365
00:19:19,325 --> 00:19:20,450
Look, I won't kid you.
366
00:19:20,451 --> 00:19:22,619
Bulldog meant big numbers to us
in drive time.
367
00:19:22,620 --> 00:19:23,703
We need him back.
368
00:19:23,704 --> 00:19:25,330
I'll tell you what.
369
00:19:25,331 --> 00:19:27,916
You get him to apologize to me.
370
00:19:27,917 --> 00:19:29,584
Oh, hell, why don't I just say it?
371
00:19:29,585 --> 00:19:32,254
If he'll kiss my ass,
maybe we can work something out.
372
00:19:34,256 --> 00:19:36,925
Oh, sir, I'm sure
that'll make him so happy.
373
00:19:36,926 --> 00:19:40,929
Um-- Well, I'll just get out of your hair.
374
00:19:40,930 --> 00:19:45,141
Actually, Crane, that rumor
about someone being let go...
375
00:19:45,142 --> 00:19:48,353
- it's, uh, true.
- What?
376
00:19:48,354 --> 00:19:51,564
Now that you've so nobly
gotten Bulldog his job back,
377
00:19:51,565 --> 00:19:55,735
the station still needs to make some
cutbacks in those high-priced salaries.
378
00:19:55,736 --> 00:19:57,237
God, not Father Mike! Oh, no.
379
00:19:57,238 --> 00:19:59,906
No, it's not Father Mike.
380
00:19:59,907 --> 00:20:01,033
Chopper Dave?
381
00:20:02,576 --> 00:20:04,036
Ray the Green Grocer?
382
00:20:07,373 --> 00:20:08,874
Bonnie "The Auto Lady" Weems?
383
00:20:13,713 --> 00:20:17,006
Look, Crane, you're new to the radio game.
384
00:20:17,007 --> 00:20:18,676
I've been around a long time.
385
00:20:19,593 --> 00:20:21,428
People get fired,
386
00:20:21,429 --> 00:20:24,181
but they always get back on their feet.
387
00:20:25,349 --> 00:20:28,436
So I bet I could get you that drink now.
388
00:20:31,981 --> 00:20:33,648
Yes, I bet you could.
389
00:20:33,649 --> 00:20:35,359
Help yourself.
390
00:20:36,444 --> 00:20:38,820
Ned Miller!
391
00:20:38,821 --> 00:20:41,741
Yo, Jack! No, what's wrong?
392
00:20:42,575 --> 00:20:43,826
Come on, tell me now.
393
00:20:44,535 --> 00:20:45,953
Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
394
00:20:47,246 --> 00:20:48,164
Yeah, I see.
395
00:20:49,123 --> 00:20:50,958
No, no, no, I...
396
00:20:51,834 --> 00:20:52,710
I got it.
397
00:20:55,129 --> 00:20:56,756
Thanks, Jack.
398
00:21:02,303 --> 00:21:03,304
Excuse me.
399
00:21:06,223 --> 00:21:08,808
- Bad news?
- Oh, you could say that.
400
00:21:08,809 --> 00:21:10,519
I've just been fired.
401
00:21:11,687 --> 00:21:16,192
They decided the best way to cut the
budget was to get rid of my high salary.
402
00:21:18,027 --> 00:21:19,153
Oh, Ned, I...
403
00:21:20,196 --> 00:21:21,489
I'm so sorry.
404
00:21:25,409 --> 00:21:28,871
Then I guess this means
that my job is still safe then?
405
00:21:29,455 --> 00:21:30,998
Yeah, I guess so.
406
00:21:31,665 --> 00:21:33,375
Well, you know, Ned...
407
00:21:37,338 --> 00:21:39,965
I haven't been
in the radio game that long...
408
00:21:41,967 --> 00:21:45,678
but I've been around long enough
to know that people get fired.
409
00:21:45,679 --> 00:21:48,932
And when they do, they always seem
to land on their feet.
410
00:21:48,933 --> 00:21:51,184
Now, I've known quite a few people
and counseled them
411
00:21:51,185 --> 00:21:54,604
who have suffered similar setbacks,
but in time you will embrace this.
412
00:21:54,605 --> 00:21:57,065
Learn to think of it as,
oh, a new chapter.
413
00:21:57,066 --> 00:21:58,858
You know, in theatrical circles,
414
00:21:58,859 --> 00:22:05,324
they always say, "Every exit
is but an entrance to somewhere else."
415
00:22:09,203 --> 00:22:11,705
God, I wish I had fired you
when I had the chance.
